The Navajo people (Dine' in their language) live and have always lived since they became distinct as Navajo people in what is now the American Southwest. The land is mainly high desert plateau. Traditionally the boundaries were the four sacred mountains known today in English as Mt Blanca in Co, Mt Taylor in NM, San Francisco Peaks in AZ and Mt Hesperus in Co. Most of the area is above 4000 ft and below 7500 ft but some peaks are at 10,000. The temperature, precipitation and vegetation varies with elevation. There are lakes and rivers and mesas and mountains and deserts. The Navajo Nation today is 23,000 sq miles, about the size of New England without Maine. There is a month or so of summer "monsoon" rainy thunderstorms in the summer. There is snow in the winter. Pine and fir are higher up. Pinon pine and juniper steppe in the midrange and desert climate in the lower areas. In the higher areas it are a low 4 degrees and a high of 80. The annual rainfall there is from 16 -27 inches. Middle is low of 10F and high of 88 in the summer with 12-16 inches of rain. Lowest areas it is low of 11 and high of 110 with 7-11 inches of rain.
